Gather round
It’s time for storytelling
There is much to talk about
However, its February month is a time to honor all Afro American greats
Their strives to educate
Their voices in struggles
Inspiration no matter what
Dr. Martin Luther King
Voice of one having movement being the multitude
The Quest of Equality being solitude
Eubie Blake
My Great Uncle with the musical swing as a Jazz Pianist
Opposition stand back, it’s a new horizon and follow the dance track
Entertain until when
President Barack Obama
The First Afro American of the White House
He will go down in History books for many years to come
George Washington Carver
He was an Inventor and Botanist
Mr. Carver was also a slave
Having soul in his heart and unity from the very start
Numerous other Afro American legacies being their involvement in their own right
The motto for us
A reason to excel
Having a purpose to tell
Educate one’s own mind
Expel in knowledge being teaching
Invent with Urgency
Excellence becoming a commodity
Be absorbed in what you create
Let no boundaries cause you to hesitate
It’s never too late
The sun rises within the horizon
Your name being chosen
Struggles come and go, but movement shouldn’t be slow
Who says when one is nothing equals nothing?
It only applies if no effort is made
Our heritage Afro American heroes proved one can achieve
It would later be recognition one would receive
Yes, each Afro American Historian had a story
Yet, I got my story
A time to explore, but never ignore
Legacies that have taught a lot
Pure acceleration with no not
More than reading a book, but knowledge beyond one’s depths
I look to the hills and achievement still
Ambition at every will
Achieve and continue to achieve fitting the bill.
